Hospice. Care whose goal is a good death.
It is an entire industry.
It exists to relieve The last illness has begun and Die without pain, and where you wanted to. That is the whole reason it is here: nothing enters this map without a human problem behind it.
It could not exist without Healthcare licensing and regulation and Caregiver labour market. These are the quiet preconditions — remove any one and the solution stops working.
